He's facing a team that’s been written off as a Champions League soft touch.
But Luciano Spalletti reckons he’ll need his Napoli big hitters to smack Rangers hard if they want to hammer home their Group A advantage. The form book could not be in much starker contrast ahead of Wednesday night’s showdown at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
As if heading into the Naples cauldron wasn’t daunting enough for a Rangers side devastated by injuries and with confidence crippled, they have to face an Azzurri line-up flying on the back of 15 games unbeaten, a run that have sent them soaring to the top of Serie A and their Champions League section. That impressive start to the campaign has raised hopes of a first Scudetto since little Diego was running amok back in 1990. But Spalletti did little to ease the worries of the Ibrox faithful fearing another merciless examination from his modern day squad as he insisted his team will be going all out for the victory which would all but wrap up the section ahead of next week’s trip to Liverpool.
